The Balnoon Inn with Rooms

I highly recommend you save yourself the disappointment of dining here; it was an absolutely dreadful experience. The food was severely undercooked and far from fresh, contradicting the advertisement we had seen prior to our visit. As we walked in, we had high hopes, but those expectations were shattered within minutes of our arrival. Our food and drinks were served almost immediately, but to our dismay, the quality was abysmal. Everything was soggy, and the roast we received was particularly unappetizing. To make matters worse, they ran out of frozen roast chicken by 12:30 PM and offered us dried-out pork and beef instead. It was painfully obvious that these meats had been overcooked multiple times, and I can say this with authority as I am a chef myself. Overall, this place is simply terrible and not worth your time or money.

Our visit to the Balnoon Inn was such a pleasant experience!! They’re now under new management and the place looked fantastic. Staff were very polite, helpful and welcoming! My son said their breakfast was the best he’s ever had lol.

We were travelling around Cornwall in a Camper Van. We found the Balnoon Inn on the Brit stops app. We pitched up in a lovely space with great views. Jon and Gemma provide a lovely warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble. They have been the new owners since March and have made some great changes to the place, and plan many more. Bring a novice Camper van owner, they were able to offer tips and advice and were kind enough to allow us to have a shower and eat our pizza on the premises. We will definitely return and will recommend to our friends and family.

Stayed for 3 nights recently. Excellent location, good parking. Pub has recently been renovated and new owners, Gemma and Jonny, were very welcoming. Room was a good size with comfortable beds. Food was filling with good portion sizes. Shame i didnt stay over a sunday as the roasts look excellent!

We called and spoke to Jon to see if, as a BritStops member, we could park up. We arrived to a warm welcome on Friday evening, but due to unfortunate reasons, they had been let down by a chef. However, Gemma said she would sort something for us, which she did. This is very unfortunate for Jon and Gemma, as we saw a few pop in but as no chef they left. Tha Balnoon suffered from a poor reputation and has recently been taken over by Jon and Gemma and they have worked hard in turning it around, and they are almost there. Once they get the chef started (Tuesday) apparently this should boost morale and confidence in the customers and a good reputation will be gained. Thanks for the stay and good luck with your venture.

What an incredible place. Gemma and Jon have only taken over this venue this year. They are a lovely welcoming friendly family who can’t do enough for you. We went with our Maltese puppy and they were marvellous with her also. Jon gave a sausage of her own most breakfast times. The rooms are nice and although may need updating in places, these things are either in progress or on their todo list as only been open a few months. On top of that Gemma had a baby only 6 weeks ago, so taking on a new establishment and a new baby simultaneously is highly impressive. The location is also perfect being a few miles outside of st ives and close to main roads to get to st ives, Penzance, Hayle and other sites of interest, is easy. We look forward to going back in a few years to see how they’ve achieved their future plans for the place
